- W1585146514 abstract "In 1961, on the eve of the Warren Court's “due process revolution” in the area of constitutional criminal procedure and in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement, a fourteen-year-old black boy named Lee Arthur Hester was arrested and charged with raping and murdering a white teacher in Chicago. The unrepresented Hester confessed shortly after an interrogation by four police officers who accused him of the crime and told him that they had evidence linking him to the crime. He immediately recanted his confession when allowed to see his mother and an attorney. Hester's attorneys moved to suppress his confession but a judge admitted it, and although Hester's confession made little sense and Hester's teacher gave him an alibi, Hester was convicted. The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed his conviction and the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari in 1969. In their written briefs and at oral argument, Hester's attorneys boldly asked the Court for a per se rule excluding all confessions taken from juveniles who are unrepresented by counsel. The Court surprised the parties by dismissing the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted. This article tells the untold story of Lee Arthur Hester and his case, raises questions about Hester's guilt, and takes the Supreme Court to task for failing to use Hester's case to provide greater protections to juvenile suspects during police interrogations. * Northwestern University School of Law, Children and Family Justice Center‘s 20th Anniversary Symposium, ―Seize the Moment: Justice for the Child,‖ presented in partnership with the Northwestern Journal of Law and Social Policy, October 7–8, 2010. ** Clinical Professor & Legal Director, Center on Wrongful Convictions; Associate Director, Bluhm Legal Clinic, Northwestern University School of Law. I‘d like to thank Bernardine Dohrn, who nearly twenty years ago invited me to join the first legal and policy advocacy ―Center‖ at Northwestern—The Children and Family Justice Center (CFJC). Her vision, leadership, and passion for justice have inspired me and numerous other young clinical law professors and thousands of law students over the past two decades. I‘d also like to acknowledge Thomas Geraghty, the Director of the Bluhm Legal Clinic for nearly forty years. Tom has been a mentor in the classroom and the courtroom and has been my co-counsel on numerous cases. It was Tom who first mentioned the Hester case to me more than fifteen years ago. Finally, I‘d like to thank Joshua Tepfer and Laura Nirider, my two colleagues at the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth, who I hope will continue to carry on the legacy of zealous and ethical legal representation and policy advocacy on behalf of youth long after Tom, Bernardine, and I have left Northwestern.
